A Closer Look At The Fundamentals
Lennar enjoys a very attractive (and very low) price to earnings (P/E) ratio of 8 which is below the market and many other stocks. Return on Equity (ROE) has been double digits in each of the past four quarters which is also an attractive sign. Earnings have doubled since 2018 which is a very encouraging sign.
A Closer Look At The Technicals
Technically, the stock is acting great as it just hit a fresh all-time high. Homebuilders have acted very well this year thanks to a confluence of strong demand from consumers and low supply of homes. The stock is currently pulling back to digest the big move it had recently. The bulls want to see the stock gap up after earnings and the bears want to see it gap down.
Pay Attention To How The Stock Reacts To The News
From where I sit, the most important trait I look for during earnings season is how the market and a specific company reacts to the news. Remember, always keep your losses small and never argue with the tape.
